[Lord the cause belongs to Thee]

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, &c. —iv. 29, 30.

Lord the cause belongs to Thee
When truth's opposers rise,
Thou who dost their evil see
Disperse it with Thine eyes!
They and we are in Thine hand
Who sittest on Thy righteous throne,
Let Thine awful counsel stand,
Thy sovereign will be done.
Now behold their threatenings, Lord,
Who Thee and Thine withstand,
Arm the preachers of Thy word
By stretching forth Thy hand;
Now exert Thy power to heal,
Thy hated ministers inspire,
Warm their hearts with heavenly zeal,
And touch their lips with fire.
Through the name and sprinkled blood
Of Thy unspotted Child,

180

Miracles of grace be show'd
On sinners reconciled;
Dying sinners to relieve
To certify their sins forgiven,
Jesus' purchased Spirit give,
And send the sign from heaven.
